It’s not too early, source is slow 
. We know what date the first race will be, so let them update the api soon please 
Yeah about that. The API is giving far less data now. Making it basically useless. Ive submitted a ticket so lets wait for that.

Hi Marco, in post 88 you have a super nice template sensor, from which I use some data for notifications and controlling when to show the cards on our dashboard.
All the data is updated with 2024 information in the rest sensor, however the template sensor is not working. I have tried to get it working, however beyond my yaml skills to understand the part about “for” and getting the right data. Possible for you to have a look at it, might be simple as all the data is correct in the rest sensor
Its probably not working because the datasource is not working right now
From the Ergast website
The Ergast API is now DEPRECATED
The API will be updated until the end of the 2024 season then shutdown at the end of the year.
Will the hacs integration stop on the end of season 2024 or are there plans options for something else?
Agree the source is not updated. I looked into the actual data, and only a few fields are updated in 2024 season. It has place and date, do not include time or any additional information
First of all. Its not an integration, its a card. But the card will still work, it wont have the latest data anymore. So its more of an historical card.
BUT there are rumours of other developers making their own API. So lets so how that will play out
Yes, it sucks big time. Without the times there is no point of using the data

Thanks for the reply, i know its not an integration. I was in a hurry and didn’t take much time to investigate and write a reply here.
By the way I will try the card this weekend, looks awesome!!

Have you looked at some of the alternate APIs
https://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/racing/f1/scoreboard
and
https://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/racing/f1/news
also a great discussion here
Ive looked at a lot of alternatives but not that one. Im taking a good look at it on friday. Thnx!

These don’t give enough information to be a replacement for the ergast API 
Maybe it has been mentioned and most likely you have seen this one:
it is free and as far as I can see it looks promising, it offers a lot of options. Don’t know how to implement or use though
That only has historical data.
But good news, the countdown card is working for the upcoming race

yes I just noticed
and for me this is the most important one 
however, for me, only on my mobile, not in the browser yet.
but I will wait.
Yeah, same here. Mobile app only works, Firefox on PC does not.
the issue is some (wierd) cashing,
in edge no problem, private window firefox no issue.
but only the one I use, ctrl + F5 doesn’t help.
probably I need to login again, but then I have to rearrange my menu again.
so maybe just waiting then
Not weird caching. Intended caching, otherwise the API would get DDOS’ed by anyone using it. The schedule has a cache of 3 days in the localStorage of the device. Thats why its working on some devices and others its not.
Just be patient and it will get the data
